#CreativityFound is one of my favorite hashtags, but I use it sparingly, and only when the person or subject matter is truly deserving.Teagan Ríordáin Geneviene is clearly worthy because she is the epitome of creativity and imagination.

“Tell me the facts and I’ll learn. Tell me the truth and I’ll believe. But tell me a story and it will live in my heart forever.”

~Native American Proverb

Teagan Ríordáin Geneviene, is a true storyteller with a vivid imagination. She enjoys interacting with the readers on her blog and her readers take part in the creation of her serial stories. A southerner by birth, she was “enchanted” by the desert southwest of the USA when she moved there. She had always devoured fantasy novels of every type. Then one day there was no new book readily at hand for reading — so she decided to write one. And she hasn’t stopped writing since.

Her work is colored by her experiences in both the southern states and the southwest. Teagan writes many types of fantasy, from what she likes to call “quest type” fantasy, to urban fantasy, to fantasies with a dash of mystery. Her blog, Teagan’s Books contains serial stories written according to contributions from viewers.

Teagan’s major influences include Terry Brooks, David Eddings, Robert Jordan, and Charlaine Harris.

The novella version of the serial that helped establish her blog is now available.

The Three Things Serial Story is a spontaneously written (“pantser”) story. Everything in it — characters, setting, plot, was driven by “things” left by readers of the blog Teagan’s Books, episode by episode. Each week readers left three more things. The story evolved according to what those random things inspired. The serial began with oscillating fan, which brought me the vision of the 1920s setting. The era and narrator continued in two more serials that followed. While it was not great literature, it sure was a fun ride! Here’s a trailer to put you in a Roaring Twenties mood.

Vashti, you took my breath away. What a wonderful surprise!
You have certainly made my Monday.
I took down the blog page for the first serial when I published the novella version. “Life” has been happening, so I’m behind schedule, but I hope to have the second one (Three Ingredients 1, Murder at the Bijou) ready soon. I will keep the blog page for it up (https://teagansbooks.com/three-ingredients-serial-homepage/) until I release the book version.
Thank you so very much! Mega hugs.

Hi Teagan! I’m so glad you like it! I was more than happy to do it. It’s been a long time coming. That’s great that you’ll be keeping the blog page up for a while. Best of luck with your new release, although, I know it’ll be a mega hit! ❤ Hugs&Kisses ❤

I always hesitate to do more than one post a week — and here I am with three in three days… But this feature from Vashti was such a wonderful surprise! What a way to lighten my morbid Monday. Thank you so much, Vashti. ❤ 🙂
